This message kicks off the "Flawed Follower" series, which follows the relationship between Jesus and Simon Peter, who was one of Jesus' closest followers. Peter did not come from high social status, and he was an imperfect person, but Jesus chose to invite him into relationship as a follower and a close member his circle. In turn, Peter's relationship with Jesus led to Peter working to bring multitudes to Jesus. Before Peter came to follow Jesus, Jesus performed two miracles in Peter's life. From these first two interactions, we learn that Jesus chooses us before we choose Him; that Jesus chooses us despite our flaws; that even when still have questions about Jesus, we can still follow Him out of respect and he will work in our lives; and that Jesus shifts our attitudes to be more like him.

×In this message, Pastor Hurmon kicks off the ‘Resolution vs Solution’ series with a word of encouragement to be a blessing in the lives of others, even during our hard times. Every year there are many people that experience breakthroughs because they move from having intentions to effective action. We need to move towards solutions and not just resolutions. This year, we should focus on being a blessing, allowing God to do revolutionary things in our lives. Being a blessing transforms us in many ways in our mind and in our spirit, increasing feelings of joy, reducing stress and enriching our lives with blessings flowing back to us. It’s a reminder that being a blessing during times of hardship, using our talents, time and influence to bless others, can help us during tough situations. Pastor Hurmon is calling us to be a blessing right now when we can even if times are hard. If you are inspired to be a blessing, you can reach out to find a way to be a blessing at NBCC a few times a month.…
In this first message of 2025, we learn from Rabbi ILana Goldhaber-Gordon about what blessings are, and how our relationship with blessings teaches us about our relationship with God. Through exploring the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Rabbi Goldhaber-Gordon reminds us that blessings are more than luck; they are gifts from God. Blessings are not deserved, and receiving blessings places an obligation on us to be blessings to others by sharing our blessings. Blessings are not finite or limited things that can be owned or stolen. For that reason, we should celebrate not only our blessings, but the blessings we witness with others, and we should share the testimonies of our blessings as part of our witness of God's love. Finally, when we are cut off from our sense of being blessed, we are cut off from God and become lonely, but when we realize and share our blessings, they allow our relationships with God and others to grow.…

43:51In this message, Pastor Hurmon reminds us that in these difficult times, there is still hope for the nations. He asks: Is Jesus the King of our lives? Jesus is the King of all who surrender to His authority. Jesus’ kinship is focussed on love, justice, serving others and giving His life to save ours. Christmas brings us grounded optimism: optimism in the midst of despairing circumstances. The God that we love and serve is a God of love and justice and peace. Grounded optimism rooted in God has the power to comfort us during hard times.…

As we continue our exploration of what Christmas is all about in our Hope of Peace series, Pastor Hurmon moves from themes of serenity and courage, to a focus on the wisdom and joy we need to face life's darkest moments. Life isn’t always easy — grief, illness, financial strain, and relationship challenges can leave us feeling stuck in the dark. But the Christmas story reminds us that even in our hardest seasons, God’s light breaks through. Light often comes to us in the form of WISDOM!…

In this second message of the ‘Hope of Peace’ series, Pastor Hurmon uses Joseph’s actions in the reading to demonstrate the importance of courage in our walk with God. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the audacity to face fear and act anyway. It allows us to face with fear with faith in God’s ability to meet us in our situation. Peace often requires the courage to step into uncomfortable circumstances, whether that is in our walk with God to repair relationships with others in our lives. Courage requires small steps of obedience, but those small steps taken consistently can change your life. When being courageous feels hard, remember that courage is strengthened by living one day at a time. Pastor Hurmon also reminds us to learn the Serenity Prayer as it is a prayer that God is anxious to answer in our lives and is structured to change how we engage in life through periods of crisis.…

In the lead-up to Christmas, we kick off the Hope of Peace Series. In this first message, Pastor Hurmon uses the discussion between Mary and Gabriel to discuss the ways we are able to find and experience peace in a time of turbulence and uncertainty. In order to do this, we must remember that even though we have a story that dominates our life, our most important role is as a part of God's ultimate story. When we focus on God' story, we remember that there is peace, even in what appears to be uncertainty, and we are able to find perspective. While our story may change from good to bad, and is focused on the day to day, God's story lasts forever, always points towards bringing people back into relationship with God. The way we focus on God's story is by remembering that God has a calling and purpose on our lives; saying "yes" to that calling, even when we aren't sure what that entails; and using even our hard times and uncertainty to bring glory to God. In addition, we must focus on and engage with God's will; stop trying to control what's not ours to control; and trust God with the things we cannot change. When we do this, we are able to find serenity in God's ultimate stories, no matter what is happening in our own dominant stories.…

33:37Sequoia Church Lead Elder & Future NBCC Elder 2025, Brad Jung, highlights the power of prayer. Pray is meant to bring us into relationship with God, and Jesus has set the example of being in communion of God through prayer. Prayer is more than just asking God, it’s experiencing God. God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we want him to, but He is always with us. God responds to persistence, giving us what our souls crave. Even if we don’t feel like our prayers our answered, we will always have His ultimate gift – the Holy Spirit.…

Pastor Hurmon invites us to choose the Jesus Way. Choosing the Jesus Way will radically transform your life and relationships, particularly where there are contentions. He reminds us that it’s our differences that make us usable by God. When communicating with others, it’s important to be empathic, learning their story, relating to their pain and watching our tone when we talk to them. When times get hard, remember that God is wrapped up in the details of your life no matter what. If you are obedient to God, He will take care of the rest.…

54:41In this message, Pastor Hurmon discusses the secret to stewardship of God's blessings to us. Biblical stewardship is management of all that God has given to us (time, talents, resources, and relationships), and recognizing that they are gifts on loan from God. We also must acknowledge that our gifts are not just from God, but are also gifts for God's use. When we encounter blessings and growth, we are to understand that they are gifts to be used to advance God's kingdom, and when we encounter hardship in life, we are to continue to follow God through it, understanding that God will always have the last word. As we become good stewards of what has been given to us, our most important tiles have nothing to do with what have accomplished, and instead become our titles as we God's servant and stewards of his light.…

46:13In this message, Pastor Hurmon teaches us about kairos moments: the opportune, divine moments when God acts or presents a special opportunity. This is when eternity and historic time intersect. When you’re dealing with kairos, you can meet the moment, but you cannot make the moment. Pastor Hurmon teaches us how to recongise kairos moments and ensure that we do not miss these moments in our lives. He reminds us that when it looks like God isn’t doing anything, God is moving. Sometimes in the waiting period, it gets worse before it gets better. You have to trust God anyway because God sees what you cannot see. Even when we feel like we’ve missed a kairos moment, God is a redeeming God. He can redeem missed moments and create fresh opportunities. Remember that God speaks to us, grants favour and orchestrates times and seasons.…

Have you ever realized that God’s plans exceed our wildest dreams? As we journey together on the path He’s set for us—both individually and as a church—we're invited to grow, stretch, and aspire for more. No matter who you are, you are safe, loved, and challenged here.…
In this last message of the Flawed Follower series, Pastor Hurmon encourages us to start focusing on the object of our faith instead of focusing on how little faith we think we have. Jesus is for everybody. Because of who we know in Jesus, we are not beyond God’s reach, love, grace, or purpose. When friends and family or people around us count us out when we mess up, Jesus counts us in. God doesn’t count how many times you fall, he counts how many times you get up again. Despite how hard it is to believe, Jesus’ grace is unlimited. If Jesus can change the world with Peter, He can change the world with you, so don’t forget to get back up and continue to be transformed by Him.…

This message continues the Flawed Follower series, which discusses the life of Peter, and how his relationship with Jesus teaches us about the way we can better our own relationships with Jesus. When we feel like we have failed God, we often find ourselves trapped in a cycle of guilt, pain, and shame. But God lets us know that he's not finished with us yet. Not only do we have to allow us to accept God's forgiveness, but we also need to forgive ourselves and heal. In order to forgive ourselves, we must (1) make an honest assessment and assume responsibility for our part in what has happened (2) equip our hearts with self-empathy and reframe our thinking (3) ask for forgiveness and make amends where possible, and (4) learn the lesson, and let go of the guilt and shame. When we are able to forgive ourselves and move forward with the lessons we've learned from our failures, we are able to create positive impact for others.…
